Massive oil leak after engine mount replacement.
Anyone know of any particular area to look out for when changing motor mounts that can cause a massive oil leak. I found out that a brittle hydraulic hose can snap easily when lifting the engine...I replaced a lot of old parts on my 95 wagon today...engine mounts, hydraulic hose, heater hoses under the battery compartment which was really rusty, replaced coolant,oil and hydraulic oil, and she ran great! except for the oil puddle und drips down the driveway. She is hot right now and down about a quart after a five mile drive...I did notice the white gasket ring on the oil filter cover was kinda melted but i will check that tomorrow.
Thanks for any thoughtful thoughts in advance.
